Disability & Special Seating Accommodations

Special Seating

General seating for the commencement ceremony is located in the bleachers for all guests. Tickets are not required for the general seating area. Free parking also is available in any University lot on commencement day. However, if you or your guests require accommodations due to a disability, health or mobility issue, please reserve special seating and/or disability parking tickets.

Accommodations

People who are unable to climb or sit in bleachers

Guests who are unable to climb or sit in the bleachers are welcomed to reserve seats in the special seating area (folding chairs on the floor level behind the graduates).

We ask that requests are limited to those who need special accommodations plus three additional people to assist. We understand that this may cause families and guests to be separated during the ceremony and apologize for that inconvenience. However, in order to accommodate the growing number of guests with special needs, we must ask that only those needing special seating utilize those seats.

People who are deaf or hearing impaired

A sign language interpreter will be provided at Commencement.

Special Parking

A limited number of parking spaces are available in a section of lot 13 for guests with mobility issues and those with handicap parking passes. If you already have a handicap parking pass, you do not need to reserve a special parking pass.
